The picture quality is great, and the sound is amazing! Changing channels is quick. The feature to save your favorite channels saves time from having to flip channels until you find what you are looking for. We have Plasma, LED and LCD TVs and this one is our favorite! If you loose your remote, the controls on the side are easy to use. Our previous models had small buttons that you had to shine a light on in order to figure out which one was which. Sony made them larger and with different shapes for you to manipulate the channels with ease. The settings are very simple and easy to get to. Cons: Channel and Volume buttons on the remote are located near the bottom making it uncomfortable to manipulate. Picture in Picture doesn't work with everyone due to the need to hook up your computer, not all computers are compatible. We really wanted a 50", but settled on this 40" because of the quality and price.

Picture Quality is so so. Go for a 120

Should go with 120Hz. Picture is not as crisp and clear as I had hoped.

Should go with 120Hz. Picture is not as crisp and clear as I had hoped.

I purchased this model to replace an ancient Sony tube television that just wouldn't die. We mounted this to the wall of my narrow living room, and it is the perfect size for viewing from a mere 9 feet away. Currently, the TV is hooked up to a DVD player, Nintendo Wii, and TiVo. Please note that there is space to hook up only one set of composite (red/white/yellow) cables, but we overcame this limitation by running the DVD player and Nintendo cables into a small switching device.

The picture quality was amazing right out of the box. I was particularly relieved that Sony's Motionflow technology (at the default setting) doesn't seem to cause the dreaded "soap opera effect" that I loathe on so many other televisions. I considered purchasing other, less expensive brands, but when I found this model at such a great price, the decision was easy.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt, and the product was in pristine condition upon its arrival.

This is our second 40" SONY flat-screen HDTV purchased from ABT for out winter home. We prefer this LED HDTV to the LCD HDTV. LED seems to have better sound and a crystal-clear picture. We do not use either flat screen with other electronic devices. They are solely for the purpose of watching but never recording movies and other TV programs. We are VERY HAPPY with all of our SONY TVs... the only TV brand we have purchased during the past 10 years. We also purchased several years ago two Sony 40" LCD HDTVs for two rental properties. Our renters enjoy the upgrade from analog TVs. FREE SHIPPING and NO TAX on these items to Florida and PA were a big reason we purchased these from ABT along with a competitive price and great customer service.

I use this TV in my bedroom. I found this TV is the perfect size for the bedroom. Good picture quality and sound. Not many fancy options, but it has whatever is needed. I found no need of additional sound speakers since TV speakers are good enough.

I use this TV with Apple TV and I found TV remote is confusing especially with the volume button. Volume button is way below and I always click the channel button in the middle of the remote to reduce the sound.

Overall I am happy and wish Sony quality will give this TV at least 5 years of life unless like Samsung.

Replaced my still-working old Sony with this TV. I'm completely spoiled with it. Beautiful picture. No glare. Rewatching shows I've seen before because now I can see the detail. I've found that I can't go wrong with Sony.

Bought this TV to replace an old tube TV in living room. Picture looks great and the sound is actually better than most in this price range. Only has 2 HDMI ports though so you may run out of connection options.Overall very pleased!
